You could run a cronjob that generates an html page with the appropriate links, e.g.
<a href=$mailmanbaseurl/listinfo/$listname>$listname</a>
and store the file on the private archive directory of a special list where only the list admins
have access to.
If an administrator enters the url $mailmanbaseurl/mailman/private/$speciallist/$infopage 
he or she can access the info page with all lists.

This method is rather crude, but requires no change of mailman code. Access control is via
mailman's mechanism.
